EDGAR Davids may be missing, but Barnet have plenty of other threats – according to Grimsby Town boss Paul Hurst.
As reported, the Bees player- manager sits out today's FA Trophy Second Round tie against the Mariners (3pm).
The ex-Juventus and Holland star starts a two-match suspension following a red card last weekend.
However, Hurst believes the 40-year-old won't be missed – and insists his side must be wary of the North Londoners, who have won three in a row since their loss at Blundell Park last month.
"Barnet were on a good run heading into the game here as well, so their form is very good – similar to our own – and it will be tough this afternoon.
"I'm not sure what emphasis they put on the FA Trophy but I'm guessing that they would like to progress and have a run.
"They've been in the Football League until this season and realistically haven't had the chance to get to a Wembley final."
Highlighting Barnet's main threats, he continued: "Their best player, Keanu Marsh-Brown, is likely to be involved.
"There was talk about their striker Jake Hyde coming back into the side in their last league game as well, but it came a bit early for him.
"I'm sure they would love to get him back out there at centre- forward because they have had some bad fortune in that area.
"It was a young striker, George Sykes, who played at our place and I'm not sure if he will be available today.
"Edgar Davids is suspended so that will take that side of it away from our players – even though they've played against him now and any of that stigma is gone.
"They've got threats out wide – Kieron Cadogan if he plays and Andy Yiadom – but they're all good players and can create problems if you haven't got a good shape to you."
Ross Hannah and Liam Hearn were on target as Town took three points off Davids' men just three weeks ago.
And Hurst says that encounter told him and his players all they need to know about the play-off chasing Bees.
"They might surprise me but I think they will set up in a similar fashion, irrespective of who the personnel are," he added.
"Our players have now seen them firsthand and know exactly how they play, so there's not going to be a massive surprise.
"It's one thing me telling them how teams are going to approach the game, but there's nothing better than witnessing that first-hand.
"We've seen how they like to keep the ball and retain posession, but also on the other side, seen one or two things we can try to exploit at their place this afternoon."
